Hello everyone. I may have been a member of this list about ten years ago, but sort of dropped out of things Y.M.O.-ish over the last ten years or so. Since...
... You sure did! Welcome back Ross!!! You were missed. We wondered what had become of you. Since you were last here, a bunch for us from here started the YMO...
Two things. First, has anyone used http://www.tokyorecohan.com/ ? It's a second hand CD shop in Tokyo. Their prices seem OK, especially when, as they say, they...
... would ... in ... I think it would be better to concentrate on improving the pages on Wikipedia concerning YMO and family. I've rewritten the SMB page ...
... I have bought his 1983 album ANOKORO, MARIE LAURENCIN (with Yukihiro Takahashi, Akiko Yano, Ryuichi Sakamoto a.o.) but I was very much disappointed with...
I like "L'Opera Fragile" (1980) and "Belle Eccentrique" (1981), both of which have a techno pop, ska and european/Jean Cocteau/nostalgic influence. There is a...
Thanks for the pointers on Kazuhiko Katoh. I've added some of his albums to my wish list for Tokyo Recohan. Tokyo Recohan replied to my email, and they do...
... I'm sorry, but I don't agree with you. I think YMO were a much more interesting (and innovative) unit than Sketch Show are and I rate BGM, Technodelic and...
... Ditto here as well. I think one's perspective on this is related to what one find's more mysterious and magical. For me the process of composing a...
... Patrick is a friend of mine who has his own online shop and yes for what good my word is worth I'd vouch for him 100%. Some albums easily turn up on the...
Hi fanatics, Question: What reliable 'family' media shops do you know of around the world? As a fun and useful small project I thought I would create a short ...
I really like the Sketch Show material and I respectfully but wholeheartedly disagree with the opinion that Carsten Nicolai isn't a 'proper musician' - that,...
so, of course, all this is VERY subjective, but... while agreeing that Technodelic, technodon and bgm (hell, the entire YMO oevre) are unassailable sketch...

I LOVE the Wild Sketch Show live DVD, which is the only Sketch Show release I own and it includes RS on a few tracks and backstage. Great packaging and extras...
... I have both. I prefer watching the MILD/WILD SKETCH SHOW LIVE DVD. Picture and sound quality are excellent, but the music contains visual effects and sound...
I for one was interested in getting the double disc set of Sketch Show in Tokyo and Barcelona, due mainly on the price, it was a little cheaper than the first...
Yes Asia ..Com is the one stop shopping place for me! They have always been so fast and efficent, the other smaller stores seem to always have problems with...
Since this thread has meandered off the YMO path without protest I have no reservations about mentioning that the guitarist is Cornelius. Regarding the YMO...
... Most definitely. The classic example is Stravinsky's Rite of Spring that anecdotally got the audience fighting in the aisles in outrage. Obviously, to us...
... This reminds me of the Warren Caan of Ultravox interview where he talks about his idea of adding a clear shell to his beat box and tossing lights inside...
... talking as a muso myself, its much harder and energetic to write a classical score, or highly melodic piece than to make experimental laptop music. You...
I have to agree with Mirai. The spirit, passion and melodic experimentation in YMO's work is what has always kept it above that of Sketch Show and I think...
i rate this an oversimplification while composition undoubtedly takes more time ... per piece ... improvisation takes a lot of time to develop the methods and...

I agree. All of the arguments about what is/is not 'crap' ignore my point about the subjective aspects regarding categories & the function and criteria for...
Too many topics to reply to. So in very short. Thanks for the heads up regarding Tokyo Recohan Nick. Your word does count for a lot. I've just made my first...
I think this is sort of relevant to the topic: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nIbjUfJRaeM By the way, this group is absolutely wicked on the stage, and I'm...
I assume that many people here have seen the "stay close" video on youtube or elsewhere. So, which of Yukihiro Takahashi and Steve Jansen is the better dancer?...
Hello all. What is the general culture of this group in terms of off-topic-ish postings? I've just discovered a very interesting CD by an oriental (not ...
I'm fond of the live version of "Music Plans" that was included in Winter Live '81, but don't care for the original rendition featured on BGM. To my...
